KEYNOTE. Push, Pull, Partner: A Few Models for Working with Industry

摘要

Microsoft Research (MSR) does basic and applied research across most areas of computer science. Many of the challenges that MSR researchers have in getting their ideas into "production" at the company should be of interest to early career researchers. In this talk I discuss a number of examples from my 18 years at Microsoft and consider some classic models for interaction: push, pull, and partner. I also speak to the challenges inherent in building and maintaining software platforms that serve both research and product needs.
